Vizi Beam 5R RDMX Addressing
Regarding RDMX :
1. The units will be shipped preset in 16 channel increments
from the factory
2. While using RDMX, if all units are set to the same DMX
address, all units will change to the new DMX address you
selected.
EXAMPLE: You have four units, and all the units are set to the DMX
address of “1”, and you change one unit to DMX address “17”, this
will cause all the units to change to DMX address “17”.
All four units must be on 4 different starting addresses to individually
set the DMX addresses for each unit.
For more on this feature see pages 29-30.

Vizi Beam 5R Handling Precautions
American DJ® - www.americandj.com - Vizi Beam 5R Instruction Manual Page 7 American DJ® - www.americandj.com - Vizi Beam 5R Instruction Manual Page 8
The Vizi Beam 5R is fully operational in two different mounting posi-
tions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling or set on a at level sur-
face. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on
its side as illustrated above. Be sure this xture is kept at least 0.5m
away from any ammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use
and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent
accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see next
page). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
Vizi Beam 5R Mounting
When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be
able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When
installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attach-
ment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below
the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculat-
ing working load limits, installation material being used, and perodic
safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these
qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
Vizi Beam 5R Important Discharge Lamp Warning
This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which is
highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled.
Never touch the lamp with your bare fingers as the
oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never
move the fixture until the lamps have had ample time
to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under war-
ranty conditions.
This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and skin.
The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina.
Never operate this unit without it’s covers, these covers have been specially
designed to shield against UV radiation.
Epileptic Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly
into the lamp at all times.
Avoid switching the xture on and off repeatedly in short intervals as this will
reduce lamp life and intensity.
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use gas
sealed in a high pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high
pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may explode
during prolonged extensive use. This risk is increased with age, added care is
encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Extreme caution should be used
when operating this or any xture tted with a gas discharge lamp. Never
open this unit while in use.
VERY IMPORTANT: This is for your safety and the life length of the unit.
The Philips® Platinum 5R Discharge lamp has lifetime of 2000 hours.
When the lamp reaches the 2000 hour mark, the display will begin to flash
“LAMP”. When the lamp reaches the 2000 hour mark and power is applied,
the lamp will strobe for 5 mins. and the display will begin to flash “LAMP”.
You may continue to run the fixture and use the lamp for another 300 hours.
Once 2300 hours is reached the LCD display will will begin to flash “LAMP”,
the DMX signal will shut off, and the fixture will go into hibernation status and
will not move.
Any fixtures daisy chained to the unit will stay powered on, as long as their
respective lamp has not reached 2300 hours. The unit will start running again
once you have replaced the lamp and cleared the LAMP RUNNING TIME
(see top of page 25 “CLMP”). Clear the LAMP RUNNING TIME after you have
replaced the lamp. See page 53 for lamp replacement instructions.
Warning: DO NOT use this lamp more then 2300 hours. Using the lamp
any longer then the set life could seriously damage your unit.

tions that you can choose from.
8. Carrying Handles - The includes built-in carrying handles. Be sure
to always handle the unit by the built-in handles. Never lift or carry-
ing the unit by head or yoke. Pulling on or transporting the unit by the
moving head may severely damage the unit and will void the unit war-
ranty.
9. Lamp Assembly, Access Plate, and Cooling Vent - This plate
accesses the lamp socket assembly. The unit includes a spring
mounted discharge lamp. Be sure to only replace with same type
lamp. After replacing a lamp be sure the lamp is centered in the reec-
tor. See pages 52-53 for details on installing and optimizing replace-
ment lamps. Never operate this unit with the lamp exposed, this lamp
emits strong UV radiation. Please see page 7 for important information
about the Philips® Platinum 5R discharge lamp. This is also a cooling
vent for the lamp.
10. XLR DMX Input Jack - This jack is used to receive an incoming
DMX signal or Master/Slave signal.
11. XLR Output Jack - This jack is used to transmit the incoming
DMX signal to another DMX xture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal to
the next Vizi Beam 5R in the chain. For best results in DMX or Master/
Vizi Beam 5R Controls and Functions
Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain. See
“Line Termination” on page 14.
12. Power Cord Inlet - This cord is designed to match the electri-
cal requirements of the unit. Voltage may vary from venue to venue,
when connecting this unit to a power supply be sure to connect to a
matching power outlet. Never use this xture if the ground prong has
been removed or broken off. The ground prong is designed to reduce
the risk of re or electrical shock in the event the unit suffers from an
internal short.
13. Fuse Holder - This housing stores a 5 amp (3 amp 220v) protec-
tive fuse. Never defeat the fuse, the fuse is designed to protect the
electronics in the event of severe power uctuations. Always be sure
to replace the fuse with an exact match as the one being replaced,
unless otherwise told to do so by an authorized American DJ® service
technician.
Power Supply: The American DJ® Vizi Beam 5R contains a elec-
tronic ballast, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into
the power source. With the electronic ballast you do not need to worry
about wall voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX
controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fix-
ture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture
via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX
fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models
of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a
single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX
compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using
several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The
order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence
the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address
of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the
end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first fixture controlled
by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture
is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send
DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located
in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The Vizi Beam 5R can be controlled via DMX-512 pro-
tocol. The Vizi Beam 5R can be either a 10 or 12 channel DMX unit.
The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the side
panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX control-
ler require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data
cable for data input and data output (Figure 1). We
recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are
making your own cables, be sure to use standard
110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be
purchased at almost all professional sound and
lighting stores). Your cables should be made with
a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also

remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Vizi Beam 5R Set Up
Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-
nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

Special Note: Line Termination.
When longer runs of cable are
used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-
512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX
xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,
these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart

Vizi Beam 5R Error Codes
When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a
“reset/test” mode. This mode brings all the internal motors to a
home position. If there is an internal problem with one or more
of the motors an error code will ash in the display in the form
of “XXer”, “XX” will represent a function number. For example,
when the display shows “03Er,” it means there is some type of
error with the channel 3 motor. If there are multiple errors during
the start-up process they will all ash in the display. For exam-
ple: if the xtures has errors on channel 1 and channel 3 all at
the same time, you will see the error message ash “01Er”, and
“03Er repeated 5 times.
If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure the
xture will self-generate a second reset signal and try to realign
all the motors and correct the errors, if the errors persist after a
second attempt a third attempt will be made.
If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the
xture will make the following determinations:
1) 3 or more errors - The xture cannot function properly with
three or more errors therefore the xture will place itself in a
stand-by mode until subsequent repairs can be made.
2) Less than 3 errors - If the xture has less than 3 errors, there-
fore most other functions will work properly. The xture will
attempt to operate normally until the errors can be corrected by
a technician. The errors in question will remain ashing in the
display as a reminder of internal errors.
01Er – PAN movement error:
This message will appear after a xture reset, if the pan-yoke’s
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet
is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor
or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).
03Er – TILT movement error:
This message will appear after a xture reset, if the tilt mag-
netic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is
